Title: Routing system for routing data and commands in a mobile phone
Inventor: BAL BALAJI
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-02-02
Abstract: A routing system for routing data and instructions between functional modules (22-38) in a mobile phone (5) is described. The system comprises a micro server (21) which includes a routing module (40), a standard routing table (42), a dynamic routing table (44) and a permission database (46) . The routing module (40) is arranged to determine whether a signal received from any of the functional modules (22-38) includes command data corresponding to data stored within the standard routing table (42) or the dynamic routing table (44). If a signal is received which does not include command data the routing module (40) routes the signal on the basis of the identity of the functional module (22-38) from which the signal has been received. Otherwise, data stored in association with the identified command data within the standard routing table (42) or the dynamic routing table (44) is utilised to select a destination for a signal. The permission database (46) is utilised to restrict access to certain modules when an instruction is received from an external computer.

Title: Computer booting using biometrics
Inventor: CHANG YEN SHENG
IPC: G06F1/00
Filed: 2004-03-10
Abstract: The booting of a computer is allowed to proceed only if a user biometric, e.g. fingerprint data, matches a pre-stored version. A fingerprint input process stored on a basic input/output system (BIOS) is performed during booting or resetting the computer. This causes an input module to perform a fingerprint scan and send a fingerprint signal to a recognition module 20 located on the motherboard 10 of the computer. The recognition module produces a recognition code in response to the fingerprint signal and compares it with at least one pre-stored recognition code. The comparison is used to determine if booting is permitted. Other biometric data may be used such as iris data. Also disclosed is a method of registering a user, wherein a username is provided, a fingerprint scan performed, and a recognition code is derived and stored. The scanner may be located on the computer housing, keyboard or mouse.

Title: Electronic starter for gas discharge lamp
IPC: H05B41/233
Filed: 2006-03-20
Abstract: A starter S for a gas discharge lamp LP1 comprises an electronic switching means BDS to connect a capacitor C2 between the terminals of the lamp. This creates a resonant circuit with the power supply inductor L which raises the applied lamp voltage and the cathode heating current during starting. A bidirectional voltage limiter BDL and resistor R1 are connected in series between the lamp cathodes to discontinuously damp resonance and control the peak voltage rise across the cathodes to prevent the lamp from igniting at an undesirable high voltage before the cathodes have heated sufficiently. The electronic switching means connects the capacitor by reference to a non-zero current flowing in the resistor, and disconnects the capacitor by reference to zero currents flowing in the resistor and the capacitor. The electronic switching means may be a triac (Q, figure 2) and the bidirectional voltage limiter may be a cold cathode gas discharge lamp (LP2, figure 2).
